What I find very unhandy is lack of USB ports, if want use android auto you can't have a stick with music and vise versa, seems be lack if joined up thinking.
Peugeot cook design has come on but still some way to go.In this technology driven day you would expect at least 2 USB sockets.
Maybe on the facelifted model we will see them.

I have yet to try a mini USB hub. The 'book of words' says not to do this but probably worth a try.
Has anyone any experience of doing so?

I think the concept is that you will have a smartphone with lots and lots of storage and use that as your primary music store.
That is my current plan when I can afford/ justify a phone upgrade as well as buying a new car!

agree, 2 should be standard. I don't use apple car play or android auto, as i use a usb stick for all my music.

i also find the standard satnav fine (dont have the tom tom connected yet - not bothered), but if i wanted to use google maps, then I'd have to put all my music on my phone.

1 for a brand new car is cost cutting imo.
